Ethan Jordan wins Hec Crighton Trophy

Chatham's Ethan Jordan has been named the Most Outstanding Player in U Sports football this season.

The Laurier Golden Hawks receiver won the Hec Crighton trophy at the annual Vanier Cup awards gala on Thursday, November 21.

Jordan had a career year and set new records in 2025.

His 1,066 receiving yards were a career-high, it was his second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign, and he led U SPORTS in receiving yards.

He broke the Laurier football program's career receiving yards record this season with 3,458 and now has the second-most career yards in OUA history.

Jordan's 10 touchdowns this season led all OUA receivers for the third straight year and was second in the country.

He broke the program record for career receiving touchdowns with 30 and now has the second-most in OUA history.

His 68 receptions were the fourth-most single-season receptions in OUA history, and with 239 career catches, he set a new OUA record.

Jordan had a career-best 133.3 receiving yards per game, thanks to his six games with over 100 yards.

He was also named an all-Canadian for the fourth time.

Jordan is the second Hec Crighton winner from Chatham. Western Mustangs receiver Andy Fantuz won the honour in 2005.
